I travel, when I can. Write, when inspired. Photograph, where there's beauty. Make films, for a living. Oh, and I play a decent didjiridu.

Plume, Tatntalus Mountain Range, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Invisible Wind

A cloudless sky
An invisible wind
But for the snow
Dragged over the peaks

A roiling plume

Like my mind
As I’m buffeted
Not so steadfast
As the rocky peaks

Howe Sound Sunset, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

For Earth Day

When the moon and planets align
In the darkness that is not yet night
I am reminded that this home
This Earth
Is one preciously small orb
In a vastness sporadically dotted
With preciously small orbs
An infinitesimal in the infinite
Just like me
And I rejoice
In just how perfect that is

Snow Man, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Slumber ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #136

As the snow fell, he slept
And it became
The slumber of aeons

His awakening would be
Celebrated around the world

Though his eyes never opened again

Forgotten Library, Britannia Mining Museum, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Forsaken Library

It had been a library
Once
I guess it still was
Though
What did that matter

Few
Enough left who could
Read
The irrelevant past
Now

Silly stories of
Love
Self help for plentiful
Times
Dystopian imaginings for a world of

Ease
So it was no wonder salvagers
Found
No value in printed
Words

Vancouver and Harbour, From Woodward's Building, British Columbia, Canada

Builders We

Such prolific builders we
Who raze an endless stand of trees
Erecting concrete towers in their place
With geometric rigour lacking nature’s grace
We sunder her, retrain our eyes to see
